Psychopaths are not normal people troubled by what ever! They are a different brand of creatures.

Well, they are pretty much similar in their definitions and the way they are viewed or stereotyped. What I meant to say, psychopaths just some how blend in compared to someone who's a sociopath. Both will try to push their views of themselves onto others, and will be manipulative to where it would harm or hinder someone. Psychopaths though will just probably control themselves better then sociopaths, but then both believe they are right all the time, as if trapped in a small box called ego, or what ever definition.
Psychopaths have the obsession and the desire but it depends on the desire, like that of a Buddhist Asura or Christian Devil. While Sociopaths have a temper of a man eating beast or a Rakshasa.
Both are interchangeable. lol.

Lol, is psychopath the modern term for witch now? You're shunning people based off of anything but logic, and you're dehumanizing people. Why?
Dehumanizing is something that happens in nearly all the worst atrocities of the world, you know. Rwanda, Holocaust, etc. you know.
To go back on topic a bit, there are plenty of personalty disorders that deprive people of regular emotional development, but they are seen as harmless. That's why people get specialized training and education for things like this, because you can't just check by looking at them. In fact, many people who are diagnosed as psychopath are successful and law abiding people. It doesn't make sense to blacklist people for being.. different. Some murderers are psychopaths just like some murderers have dwarfism. Of course it happens, it's ridiculous to reduce people to less than human simply for being different.
So seriously, what is the issue with them? What happened to YOU?
